Auroville's relationship to other communities

Eternity in an hour Tuesday, 13 July 2010
On Monday morning, 12th of July Bharat Nivas was joyfully crowded with many children and Aurovilians for the release of the book Passage made by Auroville teenaged students of Auroville as illustration of their educational growth and development. Shri Kapil Sibal, the Union Minister for Human Resource Development released the book with informal talk about education, and Auroville, which for him encompass within the spirit of the world, the spirit of human beings. For him a thing of beauty is a joy forever, and the beauty is the discovery of the truth. But the road to discovery is not visible because we need to dwell into the soul and figure out what we are here for. And that's why he sees this particular publication Passage very emotive, because we are truly passengers.
